Christmas Festivities

This is Ashlyn right before Church last Sunday, She wouldn't leave the headband on and took it off within seconds of me trying to put it on for a picture...

We let Ashlyn open a present Sunday night and it was a dump truck (from her daddy) I wasn't sure what she'd think, but of course LOVES it and always climbs in it and pushes it around!

On Christmas Eve at Blake's parents they gave her this puppy that sings every song/saying you could possibly think of in a child toy! She hugs it all the time and carries it everywhere she goes! It came with a play phone and another singing toy...

Ashlyn has learned to give BIG hugs and especially likes hugging people close to her size, like her cousin Charlotte...

When opening all gifts (including other peoples) this is the face Ashlyn would make, showing her excitement!!!

Ashlyn especially loved playing with the "play" food that her cousin got for her little kitchen


Christmas day we didn't really take pictures of any gift openings because it was all on video but we went to Blake's brothers house that afternoon and Blake took Ashlyn for a ride on a fun scooter...

At my parents Christmas night (we went there for dinner) they took a picture of the "1's" starting with Ashlyn (1) Greg -my brother (21) Robb -my brother (31) My Mom (51) Grandpa Salmon (71) and Grandma Bird (81).... very cool!

My parents got Ashlyn this park swing for our back patio and she was SO excited - when Blake put her in it and swung her himself she didn't want to get out and kept insisting MORE...

Well, it's almost the NEW YEAR and hard to believe that 2007 is almost to a close. We feel so very blessed to have such wonderful family and friends (near and far) and we appreciate your love and support. We hope you have a Happy and Healthy 2008 and wish you all the best! All our love~ Andrea, Blake and Ashlyn
